UNSPSC 51173007: Hemorrhoidal/hydrocortisone

This classification denotes a combination drug defined by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in its (VA's) National Drug File (NDF), which falls under VA Drug Class RS202. This VA Drug Class (RS202) classifies this compound as belonging to the group HEMORRHOIDAL PREPARATIONS WITH STEROID.

UNSPSC 51173007 Hemorrhoidal/hydrocortisone, a Commodity code, nominally covers specialized pharmaceutical products, but the recent state and local activity tagged under this code does not reflect that scope. The City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department's ITB 25-P-00157, posted April 24, 2026, solicits a broad range of medical aid supplies—antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, aspirin, pain relievers, bandages, first aid kits, and emergency blankets—rather than hemorrhoidal or hydrocortisone products specifically. The procurement is structured with estimated annual quantities ranging from 1 to 2,700 units per item across 32 line items, with a total department budget of $100,000 and an initial one-year award period plus potential for two additional one-year renewals. All medications must carry a minimum nine-month expiration date from acceptance, and the City reserves the right to award by aggregate total or individual line items.

The code shows limited recent activity, with the Tampa solicitation as the only available record. The City of Tampa is a municipal buyer; the procurement includes set-aside provisions for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBEs) offering a 5% bid discount (capped at $10,000) and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises (U-WMBEs) offering a 5% discount (capped at $20,000). Bidders must submit electronically through the OpenGov eProcurement Portal with proposals due April 9, 2025—a deadline that has passed relative to the current date of July 20, 2026. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (hemorrhoidal/hydrocortisone products) and the actual solicitation content (general medical aid supplies) suggests that this code may see limited relevant procurement activity, or that the tagging does not align with current buying patterns in state and local markets.
